About the store
This is my 19th year in the classroom. I have taught Language Arts, English, and Yearbook in grades 7-12. I enjoy working with teenagers and igniting their passion for reading, writing, analyzing, and creating.
I currently teach sophomore and senior English, although I have experience teaching all grades 7-12. My TPT items are lessons and forms that I use in my own classroom, and all lessons are classroom tested.
Additionally, I advise a 400+ page chronological yearbook. It's quite an undertaking. My yearbook forms and rubrics were developed over the years and are used in my classroom each day.

However, it is often time-consuming and tedious to create a daily lesson plan. Some time during my first few months of teaching entirely online for the first time during the pandemic I knew that I needed a better way to prepare. Behold the editable Teacher's Weekly Planner. Plan out your week, upload directly to Google Classroom and go. I also have a PDF version in
